The second day of the Sharannavaratri Celebrations started with the Lord performing the Go Pooja amid nadaswaram and mangala vaadyam. The Yaaga shaala wore a Divine look decorated with bamboo at the base, banana leaves and flower festoons, garlands, palm leaf coverings and fruits. After the offerings were made to the day’s Deity, the Lord occupied the Simhaasanam. The rituals that followed seemed to be transporting those seated from the Avidya Maya into the Ekatwa of Brahmatatwam.
Shri UAVN Raju garu, a disciple of Master EK, addressed the audience. He delivered a speech pregnant with Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai’s philosophy and the Avatar’s Glory. A devotee known for practising the ideals preached by Baba, the speaker highlighted that the Grace of Baba descended on anyone not because of one’s qualification but by Baba’s sheer Grace only.
Swami in His Divine Discourse stressed the need for devotees to internalise about the true sense of surrender. He also highlighted the need to maintain internal calm while engaging in worldly activities to earn the purity of mind. Talking about offerings made into yagna, Swami highlighted that the services rendered by the volunteers in kitchen, cleaning teams etc., were equivalent to the offerings offered into the Yagna. Swami also emphasised that there is a need for everyone to understand that Swami’s role combines in itself the Mother’s Love along with Father’s responsibility. Saying that nothing misses His attention, He emphasised the need for one to progress in Sadhana.
The evening session overflowed with divine joy as two children including a 5 year old, whom Swami had mentioned as a prodigy, along with a 10 year old performed Bharatanatyam beyond expectations.
Swami urged upon the need for every one performing Shastriya Sangeetam or Nrityam to adhere to the cultural values and tradition. He emphasised the need to ensure that children should as far as possible add any useful skill apart from educational qualifications they may choose to pursue. He also urged the parents to ensure that their children evolve into beautiful butterflies bringing cheer to the world! The day’s proceedings concluded with Divya Prasadam served to all present!
